what is not legitimate about the performance centers that we already have? are you looking for a 5,000 seat venue? top entertainment is not likely to book here because they receive better economic offers from the established venues between jacksonville, tampa, palm beach, etc.

willie nelson might be considered an exception - but look at the price of the tickets! boy howdy, did folks ever complain about that! but he did sell the place out, so some almost 1,000 people still consider him top level entertainment!

there is a committee of residents who feel as you do - but their efforts don't seem to get anywhere close to fulfillment. costs for building, operating and filling the seats continually get in the way I think.
